I'm a Beauty Snob on a Budget, and These Holy Grail Products Are Finally Cheaper

I might not be a beauty editor, but that doesn't mean I don't have strong preferences about the products I use. While there is nothing wrong with a good drugstore beauty haul, there's just something about buying into the holy grail makeup, hair, and skincare brands that makes a girl feel like a million bucks. Since brands like Chanel, Dr. Barbara Sturm, and Clinique can definitely cost a pretty penny, I thought I would fill you in on a little secret. Well, by now, you might already know, but the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is finally here and all those holy grail beauty products we all crave are finally cheaper.
I went through the entire beauty section of the sale and picked out the 25 products that me, a grade-A beauty snob, am personally stoked to see discounted. Including the brands listed above and more, get ready to shop some of the biggest names in beauty at prices that will make your heart skip a beat.
Had to end with one more Nars product because like I said in the title, I'm a beauty snob.
Next up, here's what a celebrity stylist says you should buy and skip this season.
